Turkey Recap…

We are headed into the final stretch – one more week to go and then another season will sadly roll to a close.  Just to catch up on the previous 2 weeks of Spring Turkey Season… Fantastic work everybody!!  A tribute to the tremendous amount of work and talent put into scouting and prepping, positioning and calling… all to simply get the chance for everyone to see one of the most incredible displays Mother Nature has to offer – a beautiful mature gobbler, strutting and spitting, all at eye level and often times within mere steps of you.  An experience to behold… and for the shots fortunate enough to find their target – Congratulations!

2014 Summer Fishing Season is fast approaching!

A little reminiscing from last year’s (2013) COBIA bite… just a reminder of one of many incredible fisheries we have here on the Outer Banks.  We are headed to Hatteras for a few weeks next month (May) to kick off the season then back to Manteo for the summer… Give us a call – Let’s go fishing!

Spring Turkey

Spring Turkey Season is here!!!  The Youth get to enjoy the first week and it is so nice to see kids out in the environment – no iPad, no phones, no videos… just mother nature and wildlife.  Quality time spent in the outdoors with family is invaluable and often short lived as our kids grow up incredibly fast.  We are so very thankful to be a part of it all.  An enormous CONGRATULATIONS to our Abbie!!  Weeks of target practice and mounting excitement all paid off.  No blind or cover…. she has never sat this still in all her 6 years.  Dad was shaking like a leaf with excitement and Abigail simply whispered “I got this”… 11 1/2 inch beard, 1 1/4 inch spurs, 20.3 lbs; one shot… a trophy for anyone and extraordinarily special for our young lady… Nice work kiddo 🙂

Spring Haul Out

Another sure sign of spring…. time in the yard!!  The Fistful is up and the boys are hard at work prepping for the fast approaching Summer season.  A fresh coat of bottom paint, barrels of elbow grease, lots of love and tons of wax 🙂  We’ll spend a couple of weeks again in Hatteras this year beginning May 12th – Days are filling fast so anyone interested in fishing out of Hatteras please let us know as soon as possible!

Bluefin

As the commercial Bluefin season winds down we are gearing up for Spring Turkey and then on to the Summer Fishing Season!!!!  Tons of excitement already this year starting with the close of an awesome waterfowl season (Thanks again to everybody! We miss you all already!!  😥 ), continued work on the farms to get ready for next year, great sound rockfish trips, the quickly approaching spring and all the fun that season brings, and then of course – summertime!  It’ll be here before we know it 🙂  A few pics from yesterday’s outing with Karl, Casey and Russell… pretty work fellas!
